Best power supply recommendation?

darksora269 · May 23, 2013

What do you guys think would be the best power supply recommendation, both in watts and already known quality, for a build consisting of an 7970 GHz Edition?

Seasonic G series 550w.

If you plan on adding a second card then the Seasonic X series either 750w or 850w models.

Which mobo processor r u using with that GPU?

darksora269 · May 23, 2013

Fx 8350 along with an HDD with an SSD. Possibly a liquid cooling solution with a closed loop. -CM Seidon possibly?

Also, Anort3, thank you. I was thinking of getting the 750 watt version of that but this will do.

By the way use corsair 650w 80+gold PSU. This is best quality & efficient PSU & also more than enough if u r going to crossfire or sli.

Alright thanks for the tip. I'm likely to just use one GFX card, the 7970 GHz edition so.

You don't need 750w PSU . The 650w PSU is m everythingore than enough for water cooling & what u listed in ur rig.

Alright. I'm going with the 550w from Seasonic that anort posted, though. I love the fully modular design, I'm sure the cables have the proper length, and I know Seasonic are out of this world in their respective field.

Yups sesonic is also good choice . But 550w PSU will be not enough if he chose crossfire or sli in the future that's why I suggested 650w PSU my friend.

The G series is a very good value. Top quality performance and modular design with a great price. You can't go wrong with it or any Seasonic.

Yeah except 650 is not enough either. Making a 650w unit a bad buy. More money than he needs to spend and not enough power for future Crossfire.

I don't think so .
I used 650w which I mentioned . It is enough for holding two gpus.
It is also modular. I never needs more Power for anything. My build was rocking with 650w PSU.

You used a 650w PSU for 2 x HD 7970Ghz editons in Crossfire? 800 watts is recommended.....650 is cutting it way too close.

No I used gtx660 2 gpus.

You do understand different cards use different amounts of power right???? OP asked about the HD 7970Ghz edition not a low power GTX 660. You can easily run 2 x GTX 660s on 600 watts.

Sry my friend, I forget about the models of GPU. That was my mistake. Sry again.
